How To Overcome Your Shy Bladder Problem

If you suffer from a shy bladder (paruresis if you want it’s medical name), it can affect your whole life, especially your social life. Depending on how severe your shy bladder syndrome is, it could be a “once in a while” issue for you or it could involve a detailed planning exercise just to leave your house.

Here are some simple tips that will help you to assist you in overcoming your shy bladder syndrome:

1. Drink less fluid

Sure, that sounds rather glib but it’s still worth remembering. It’s also a good idea to be careful what you’re drinking. Drinks like coffee, for example, known as a diuretic will make matters worse, even if you don’t drink as much as you would, drink water.

2. It won’t go away if you ignore it

Unfortunately, your shy bladder won’t suddenly disappear if you ignore it. You actually need to do things to help overcome your problem.

3. Don’t spend all day and night thinking about it either

At first glance, this sounds like it contradicts the second point. The reason is that it’s actually rather hard to perform certain things if you’re concentrating on them too much. For example, if I asked you to blush now, on command, are you able to? The same goes for your shy bladder. If the only thing on your mind is “There’s no way I can use a public restroom” then there’s a good chance your body won’t let anything happen. Even if you’re bursting.

4. Practice walking into public restrooms

Even when you don’t need to pee. You’ll begin to get the idea that these places aren’t any threat to you. Obviously don’t make a habit of hanging around these places like a disgraced pop star. Just give your mind the idea that other people manage fine. This simple action may be the only thing you need to reduce or even overcome your paruresis.

5. Seek help

Talk to sympathetic friends. See your doctor. Or get hold of a shy bladder hypnosis MP3 that you can play to yourself whenever you want and is remarkably effective at curing or at least reducing your shy bladder problem.
